About Me

Actor and Singer from The Heavy Metal kids. Born in London's East End. As a child I began working in the theatre with the Sadlers Wells Opera Company and was with them for three years. Soon after leaving the public Westminster school I joined the Old Vic Theatre Company and from there I went on to work with the Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford.At seventeen I joined the touring company of Hair and remained with them for two years. When I left the Company my musical talents lead me to front the rock band Heavy Metal Kids. After the band's demise, a lead part in Stephen Frears film Bloody Kids and roles in other films came along, including Music Machine, Quadrophonia and Breaking Glass.I have a son called Red.Im also a massive Spurs fan. I also got together with Casino Steel, go to www.myspace.com/casinosteel you can hear me sing a fantastic and beautiful version of Ruby. We did 4 or 5 blindin albums! Another great one is Lovers lane.
